​He dislikes Muslims but evidently admires the suicide bombs used by Islamic terrorists. His name is Roman Conaway and last night he held police and federal agents at bay for seven hours with threats that he'd blow up himself along with his wife and son and much of his Fairview Heights neighborhood if law enforcement dared to step on his property.

The FBI and local police first arrived at Conaway's Illinois home around 7 p.m. yesterday after receiving reports around 1 p.m. that he'd called members of the St. Louis Muslim community making threats against them and President Barack Obama. When the officers arrived at the home, the 50-year-old Conaway greeted them with a belt packed with what looked like C4 explosives strapped around his waist and a curling iron in his hand that he said was a triggering device to ignite two large 55-gallon drums filled with explosives.

The C4 turned out to be Play-Doh. The drums were filled with water.

Still, the cops took his threat seriously, evacuating nearby homes and negotiating with Conaway to surrender and release his wife and son. The standoff ended peacefully at 2:15 this morning.

In several posts Conaway complains about his insomnia -- at one point being awake 92 hours -- and a custody battle with his ex-wife in which he makes repeated physical threats against a man named Brian.

Hours before yesterday's standoff, Conaway wrote on Facebook of his plan to burn six Qurans. He also wrote on Facebook during the standoff, telling friends to come to his home to document what was happening.
